I think he's wrong in surmising another Wii U level of sales if this is the best Nintendo can do with the things he's criticising. This is after all a handheld + home console, and there are still 10s of millions of people who will buy a Nintendo handheld. But perhaps like 3DS, which was overpriced at launch and was looking quite poor in sales, the initial sales of Switch might be lower than desired and Nintendo will, say, sell a sku without the docking station for $199(?) and things will take off from there.
Regular game releases will be important of course.
